Aarti suggested to her parents to get a medical check-up Radha The doctor thoroughly exmined Radha and diagnosed that she has a brain tumour.
(a) What, according to you, are the values displayed by Aarti?
(b) How can radioisotope help a doctor to diagnose brain tumour?

Verified by Experts

(a) Values displayed by Arti are:
(i) Concern towards others
(ii)Awareness about basic sciences.
(iii) Keen observation
(iv) Tendency to consult parents in important affairs.
(b) Radiosotpes can be used to identify brain tumors using imaging techniques like `P.E.T` (Positron Emission Tomography)
Tumors cells exhibit different effinity towards radioisotopes and are thus detected by the imaging technique.

Geeta has dry hair. A comb ran through her dry hair attracts small bits of paper. She observes that Neeta with oily hair combs her hair, the combs could not attract small bits of paper. She consults her teacher for this and gets the answer. She then goes to the junior classes and shows this phenomenon as physics experiment to them. All the juniors feel very happy and tell her that they will also look for such interesting things in nature and try to find the answer. She succeeds in forming a science club in her school. Read the above passage and answer the following questions. (i) What according to you are the values displayed by Geeta? (ii) Explain the phenomenon involved.
